FAST (Fuel Air Spark Technology), a division of the Comp Performance Group, revealed a prototype manifold for the 4.6L 3V engine at this years SEMA show in Las Vegas. The composite manifold is a three-piece unit which boasts significant redesign from the stock piece. FAST has taken advantage of the underhood space to make a taller manifold with increased runner length and volume. Preliminary modeling shows around a 40 horsepower increase. Look to FordMuscle to test the unit soon. The FAST 3V manifold is the first aftermarket manifold for the new Mustang GT which debuted just two years ago. The manifold is expected to be in production in the early part of 2007. We anticipate more details will soon be available on the FAST website.
STILL WAITING????

By Typhus. February 21st, 2007 at 2:53 pmI hope I am wrong, but from the picture it appears that the TB is offset to the left (looking at the front of the engine) if so, i do not believe my aftermarket CAI tube will fit properly, and for that matter neither will the stock intake tube? hope i am wrong and if the price is reasonable i will be the first to buy one.
By Terry. December 23rd, 2006 at 10:52 amas far as i’m concearned one of these after market co. should make a way better flowing 2v head and something like the bullit manifold that would enhance torque aswell as accecpt an oval port or twin bore throttle body. something like that sullivan setup but with longer runners. if i only had the means or the cash i could easily design and make an adequate power enhancing intake setup. imagine, asetup and heads that was no longer the restriction on the motor.
By cgman. December 15th, 2006 at 1:22 amactually there are a few manifolds out for the 2v mod motors

edelbrock has a new manifold p/n 28385
trick flow ( in feb. 07)
fox lake’s p-51
and the used bullit intake if you can find one
I’m glad for you guy’s, honestly, but you gotta feel the pain of the first poster, and myself. I’ve had this car for ten year’s now, and the only reputable people to make anything for it so far has been FRPP, and at 1800 for an intake, I’ve had to pass.
Hopefully it works as well as the LS1 series does.
By Jr.. November 29th, 2006 at 3:10 pmI have a 06 GT that would make a great test mule.. send me a e-mail
By rex7010. November 16th, 2006 at 8:34 pmYou guys are ALL missing the point. Ford sold what maybe 200,000 ‘05 mustangs (half of which were GT’s), and maybe 1/10 as many in 2004. If I was going to spend money on developing new engine performance products I’d make new products for the HOT selling new car and motor combination with BIG sales numbers potential. Why would I make parts for an old motor with many fewer units on the street?
By chip. November 15th, 2006 at 10:41 amthe taper on those runners look upside down from this perspective…..
By tmoss. November 13th, 2006 at 6:07 pmbe open to the fact that improved intakes can ram air into the ports with inertia that overcomes the restrictions in said port. it’s the principle that tunnel rams act on. enlarged runner volume with proper taper rate MURDERS standard fixed crossection individual runner intakes. to hear the advertisement that the runner are longer with larger volumes can make more power than any other setup if done correctly. PERIOD.
By assasinator. November 12th, 2006 at 10:36 amLet’s hope they don’t price it as they did the intake for the LS1. Near $800 for PLASTIC!
I know there are some pricey plastics in the world, But there should be NO reason for the price to be that high.
By Wildo. November 11th, 2006 at 6:09 amYeah, I’m game.
Need another test 2005 GT in St. Louis????
By GT John. November 7th, 2006 at 11:15 amIf it makes even have the power they claim, I’m going to buy stock in the company. The torque increase down low should be even better than the HP claim.
They will sell like crazy!!!
By Patt. November 6th, 2006 at 12:54 pmYou realize that the 07’s are selling.. As I own an 07 GT/CS .. So try closer to 3 years not 1 year.
There are still alot of areas where the S197 aftermarket is lagging even 3 years after release. But when it comes to the new 3v engine, its a monster. And those that own them realize how easy it is to bolt on HP. So the aftermarket realized they can cash in on this.
I know that if that intake manifold can give just 20 rwhp, I will have one slapped onto my car ASAP.
By VSOP. November 6th, 2006 at 7:53 amlets not forget about the p51 intake for the 2v’s
By richard. November 6th, 2006 at 6:03 amId have to disagree with the comment that 4v’s “are much better out of the box than the 3V”. Sure, the right 4v heads will flow better, but they don’t have vvt like the 3 valves do. Also, just look at the dyno numbers, the 05 and up guys are getting up to and over 300 rwhp with a a cai, tune and few other goodies. Try that with any factory n/a 4v. Even the mach 1 guys have a hard time reaching 300 rwhp with simple bolt ons (and they have a one piece dirveshaft verse the 40 lb behemoth that comes in the s197’s). Anyways, the reason that this intake came out as soon as it did is because 1) theres alot of s197’s 2) they respond really well to ’simple’ mods 3) the people buying these cars have the kind of cash needed to support fast r and d.
By Jeff. November 5th, 2006 at 4:17 pmThe 3V heads have been out for about 3 years so far (since 04 5.4L 3V V8).
By C. November 5th, 2006 at 12:54 pmI wouldn’t consider Professional Products a choice given their “reputation” as just copy-cats. But the question still remains; why did the aftermarket mature in a year w/ the 05+ and still hasn’t w/ the 96-04? The engine is the same, just different heads. Even with the PI heads, the choice of parts is limited. Even the 4V heads don’t even have a lot of parts and they are much better out of the box than the 3V. As you can see, I’m a disgruntled owner of a 03 Mustang frustrated at the lack of aftermarket attention…
By bassman97. November 5th, 2006 at 12:04 pmSounds good to me, how much hp vs price ??
By Angelo. November 5th, 2006 at 10:21 am40 hp is a huge jump if claims are true.
Actually profesional-products came out with a 2V manifold already.
By Editor. November 5th, 2006 at 8:16 amCorrection in my comment. I meant ‘96 to ‘98 for the crap heads.
Three years of funky heads.
By Mr_Q. November 5th, 2006 at 2:04 amBecause that 2v modular motor Ford built for those years is bunk. Only the ’98s on up got the good heads, even still there was still room for improvement.
To make any real N/A power with that motor you have to first replace the heads (the ’96s-’97s). And for most that’s a tall order. Moving forward that motor in later years is still a mess for N/A bolt-ons. It is just far more cost effective to slap on some FI and be done. So the N/A market never matured.
This new motor is much more receptive to “bolt-on” in the garage mods than that old motor.
By Mr_Q. November 5th, 2006 at 2:02 amI don’t get it. The PI 2V heads have been around since 99 and no major aftermarket companies have come out w/ an intake manifold (excluding FRPP and the Trick Flow/Edelbrock piece coming next year). However, the 3V heads have been out for only 1 year and already there’s an intake. Same thing goes for most other performance parts. There are numerous listings for 64-95 and 05+ but for some reason, there’s a void from 96-04. It seems to me that the aftermarket is missing out on a neglected market…
